Just when I thought it was safe...

...to start my strength training! OMG! I am so out of shape. I've been doing Pilates pretty faithfully, and since I've become comfortable with them (thinking of getting the intermediate level), I decided to dust off my old strength training videos from after DS was born. Man did they kick my butt! I was doing them without too much trouble 6 months ago, but just haven't been into the whole hour long routine. The good news is that Pilates really works! I used to have the most trouble with abdominal work. That went pretty smoothly, but the leg/butt work about killed me. We are all suppposed to go to the gym tonight, but I'm not sure I'll be up for it. I still have 3 yards of mulch to spread and it's very cold and windy here. (hey, don't you burn more calories trying to stay warm? I'd better get out there while my adrenaline is still kickin'! )

Keep the Faith!

Good for you. I need to get back to weight training, too. Hope you don't get too worn out from spreading mulch to go to the gym.

Are you doing Pilates at home with Windsor? I bought those and was doing great then I got sick and stopped and just haven't gotten back into it. I really did work wonderful, I am feeling a bit better now, so hopefully the DR said I can start working out again next week!

Shoveling that mulch will give you a workout like you've never had so don't feel guitly about not going to the gym as a matter of fact, play Tom Sawyer and tell your friends it's a better workout and let them come help you! lol
